Expression analyses of cup-shaped cotyledon and shoot meristemless in the one-leaf plant monophyllaea glabra reveal neoteny evolution of shoot meristem

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The aim of this study was to clarify the characteristics of meristems (in particular, GM) specific to one-leaf plants from the expression pattern of the organ boundary gene CUC​. The authors showed that CUC​s are not expressed between the GM and BM in a border-like pattern. The authors propose that co-expression of CUC​and STM leads to the maintenance of an inactive meristem in the vegetative phase of M. glabra. The authors propose that neoteny of meristem, from where new organs are formed, can be possible mechanism underpinning the evolution of novel . . .
